Marshall (5'11/219) exploded onto the scene as a true freshman in tandem with Todd Gurley, before tearing his ACL as a sophomore and earning limited playing time for the rest of his career. Marshall finished his four years at Georgia with a 253-1,379-12 (5.5 YPC) rushing line and 24-225-3 (9.4 YPR) receiving. He rehabbed his stock at the Combine, blazing 4.31 with 25 bench-press reps. Tentative on the field after his ACL tear, Marshall has regressed since his freshman season. Marshall's intrigue is derived almost entirely from his workout metrics. Sat, Apr 30, 2016 06:20:00 PM

Kiper's, ahem, on the money here, as Marshall showcased an elite speed factor that particularly stood out in a week where multiple 40 times by multiple players fell short of expectation. CBS Sports' Rob Rang wrote that the 5-foot-11, 219-pounder "stole the spotlight" from more heralded runners, while colleague Dane Brugler noted post-combine that Marshall "has better plant-and-go burst than most backs." In Kiper's eyes, "He's no certainty for Day 2, but times like that can't fall too far." Sat, Mar 5, 2016 03:13:00 PM

Brugler wrote that Marshall "hits the accelerator [with] ease." The 5-foot-11, 219-pounder was one of the true standouts at the NFL Scouting Combine last week, wowing evaluators with a sizzling 4.31-second time in the 40-yard dash. A torn ACL in 2013 sidelined the former five-star recruit, and it didn't help that he had to jostle with Todd Gurley and Nick Chubb for carries after he recovered. As a result of his lack of exposure, he's something of a draft mystery man. An NFL evaluator recently compared him to Dolphins RB Lamar Miller in that aspect. After his warp-speed 40-yard sprint, CBS Sports' Rob Rang wrote that he "stole the spotlight" from the rest of the backs on hand. Fri, Mar 4, 2016 09:14:00 PM

The evaluator went on to say that Marshall could have a similar profile to Miller in the NFL. Marshall, who your boys at Rotoworld have been pulling for hard during the process, ran the fastest 40-yard dash (4.31 seconds) of any offensive player at the NFL Combine this year. He did so at a manly 5-foot-11, 219 pounds. Oh, and he's also a former five-star recruit who shared carries with Todd Gurley for one season. So why are some readers out there hazy about who he is? Because Marshall's body betrays him at every turn, specially his knees and ankles, obviously ominous for a runner. Most famously, Marshall tore his ACL in 2013. Fri, Mar 4, 2016 06:21:00 PM
